Happy birthday to my first born…

I can’t believe it’s been 28 years since I became a mom. I was not ready at all, although I thought I was at the time. I was very young and life was simply chaotic but I knew that there was no way I would not have my baby when I learned I was pregnant at 15. I have never ever regretted my choice to have my baby, which turned out to be a girl. Today I’m sharing pictures of her and her growing up years. Hey, I’ll even throw in a few of me with her that are not all that flattering to me but you can see just how young I was.

Brit at 6 months old. What is uncanny is that her, her sister, my oldest son and two of Brit’s kids at 6 months all look the same.

Me holding her with my dad.

Me and Brit in OK where we lived for 13 months.

Brit was about 6 here and Lauren was 3.

Back in the day when ever kids had “big hair”!

A family shot when my youngest was only a few weeks old. Brit was 13 years old.

The whole family during Christmas. I can’t remember the year. Brit is on the right.

My favorite picture from her wedding.

As a first-time mom herself.

Most recent visit to my house with her family. I love my girl and I am proud of the wife, mom and woman she is today.

Welcome!

My name is Michelle and I am an Italian-American. My grandparents came to the USA in the 1920's from Campolieto, a small village outside of Campobasso in the Molise region.

With them they brought the tradition of the Sunday family dinner. I am on a journey to do the same with my growing family now that I am a "nonna".

I am a cooking instructor, foodie and food snob all rolled into one. One of the best praises I often get from class participants is "you should open your own Italian restaurant". I guess it can be a dream of mine but so is visiting Italy in the next few years.

I hope you enjoy your visit here, find a few good recipes and come back for more. Thanks for stopping by.
